Quantum Theatre’s 10 Out of 12 at Quantum Theatre

Step backstage — without leaving your seat. Quantum’s 10 Out of 12 – the title being the number of hours Actors’ Equity Association allows for one very long day in the technical process of building a show – will catapult audiences to the world beyond the curtain. Accomplished playwright Anne Washburn captures the magical chaos of a tech rehearsal when lights, sound, and costumes collide with nerves and personalities in anticipation of opening night.

Always immersive, Quantum takes it to a new level – letting audiences eavesdrop on the backstage drama. With a single-ear headset, patrons will listen in on both the actors and the production team, experiencing the rhythms, joys, and frustrations of live theater. Enjoy this moving love letter to the people who create the worlds that live on stage in the dazzlingly gorgeous Art Deco gem of an auditorium cozily nestled below ground level in the Mellon Institute on Fifth Avenue.
